The Carroll county public schools will be
closed at the end Of the winter term. We
have also heard a rilnor that the schools of
tins county may be compelled to do likewise.
We trust that the rumor may prove to be
unfounded, but should 1t prove true, we shall
certainly be at a loss for words in which to
condemn a system that promises SO much
and falls so far short in performance
We certainly do not see how our School
Commissioners can do any more than their
SHANGHAI statement shows them to have done
with the money at hand, nor do we consider
the salaries OF the teachers TO be more than
they should be, nor can we Go aught but
praise the liberal system of schoolhousc
building that has been INDUCED in, in recent
yeasS.
Are there too many schools, or should
there he more during the winter months and
less during the remainder of the year? Is it
possible to regulate the number Of schools

ing glass, the sight OF huge and heavy roofs
picked up bodily from the buildings and
teams breaking from their fastenings
on the streets and running wildly hither
and thither to get out OF the bowling storm
all went to add to the horror of the mo.
ment. The storm ragged for a half.hour,
and the wind Inc rain never relaxing for O
second. It was not a cyclone, though SO.
called by the, newspapers, but simply a
tornado or nigh wind. 1t did not take
long to ascertain the casualties.
Cora Starbird was instantly killed by
being struck on the temple bya falling tim.
Der. Mrs. Toilets also met her death in
the ruins, aad her mother, Mrs. Davis, re-
ceived injuries from which her death is
momentarily expected. In the Manitoba
repair shops ten men were
at work when the storm broke,
the building fell, and all were caught in the
RUNS ana more or less INJURED. Une OF
them, Charles Meinstrum, having his head
and side of his face so badly smashed that
he cannot recover, several OF the others
had close calls for their lives, but escaped
without serious injuries.
The Manitoba railroad eating house, ad-
joining the passenger depot, was totally de.
stroyed. The escape Of several persons
from the structure as it was falling almost
miraculous. Two OF the inmates received
was struck in the side by a flying board
and Russ Hill had his
spine severely injured by some
of the timbers falling on him after he had
been knocked down by a blow upon the
head with a board.

war? If the flags captured by our army

eral government. think they should be
given to the states by, whose troops they
were captured"
Gov Rusk also wired the following pro.
test to President Cleveland: II wish to pro.
test against the return ct the flags cap
tured by the Union troops to the states
from whose military organizations they
were captured. II these flags are to be
surrendered by the general government. I
hope they will be given to states by whose
troops they were captured"
New York, June 16.-A special to the
Evening Post says: Adj Gen. Drum is the
only person in authority here who appears
disposed to talk about the order relative
to the return OF the rebel flags-he has a
good right to speak, for it is quite certain
that the idea originated With him Gen.
Drum has these trophies in his charge.
What his share in the matter is, can. per-
haps, be best learned from the following
interview:
"Gen. Drum-You are going to return to
the Southern states all the flags, standards
and colors which were captured by the
Union army from the coniederates during
the war;" -
1--WE are going to return them to all the
states, north and south. The president
has recommended that it be done, and I
am now having full lists made OF all these
trophies in possession OF the department.
In a short time we shall have the whole
cn1loc+son ca oonor{oJ aud cnr1o faI Tim
we shall be ready to forward to every state
in the union whatever flags belonging to
state volunteers fell into the hands OF the
federal army and.into the hands OF the war
department.. l am having q complete in.
ventory OF them made out with written
statements to tell briefly, as far as known.
the history OF each trophy n the story OF
how it came to be captured. All this litera-
ture will be completed and the trophies will
be ready to be forwarded to their owners in
a few weeks.
when the president expressed his ap.
prevail OF this proposition did he do 1T in
writing?"
The adiutant general did not give u direct
answer to this question, but intimated
that possibly, when the list of the flags re.
turned and their history was given to the
public. a letter from President Cleveland
on the subject might also be made public.
"When dld the president determine that
these flags should be returned?"
During the week of the national drill.
This action is not due to any pressure Or
any suggestion from any outside source.
The idea originated with the admin istra-
tion. 1t had been in contemplation in the
department for some considerable time.
Gen. Drum only speaks OF the president
in regard to his action to say that the pro-
position was made to the president by
Secretary Endicott at a cabinet meeting,
when it was unanimously approved.
